Auld Lang Syne / Where The Streets Have No Name
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

Dave Fanning:

...and it’s here… help me count…16, 14, 13, 12, 10, 9, 8 , 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!
Happy New Year and it’s U2!


…for Auld Lang Syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne

Here she comes…the future
Happy Christmas…and Happy New Year to y’all
It’s 1990
Forget about the past
We’re gonna celebrate the future
Where the streets have no name

Oh yeah!
I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame, yeah
Where the streets have no name, oh-ha

I want to feel the sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
I can do it

The city’s a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
I can do it
I can do anything

Oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh
Come with me, y’all
Oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh
I try too hard

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It’s all I can do
It’s all I know how to do

Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
I wanna go there with you

Alright

I Will Follow
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

Let me tell ya
I Will Follow

Give ‘em one Edge

I was on the outside
When you say, you say you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, and I could not see…oh yeah

Well a boy tries hard to be a man
His lover takes him by his hand
If he stops to think
He’ll always wonder why
 
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will… follow
 
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will, I will

Pull me up
Take a picture of this, (come now)
Don’t be shy, over here y’all
This is Dublin City here
Yep

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Pick it up now
Your eyes, pull me up
Your eyes
Yeah it’s your eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, your… your eyes

Oh-oh, well it’s sunny out
Oh-oh
Pick it up
(C’mon now)

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

I will follow
I will…follow
I will follow
I will
I will
I will
I will
I will follow

Thank you

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

So how are you up there, you ok?
As soon as it’s New Year’s Day you probably expect me to get all sentimental, yeah?
Well you’re exactly right
Here’s to the future
The only limits are the limits of our imagination
Dream up the kind of world you want to live in
Dream out loud, at high volume
That’s what we do for a living
Lucky bastards!

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still ( haven't found what I'm looking for )
Not yet

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertip
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angel
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone, yeah

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Amen
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But, yes, I'm still running

You broke the bonds and ya
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross, yeah
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found

Exodus!

Exodus
Movement of Jah people, all right
Exodus
Movement of Jah people, all right
All right
All right

Sleep, sleep tonight

One Tree Hill
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
A sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of it

The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

You run like a river to the sea
You run like a river to the sea

In our world a heart of darkness, a fire zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it
Jara sang his song a weapon in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground

It runs like a river to the sea
It runs like a river runs to the sea
Yes it runs, love

But I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
Bullets they rape the night of its merciful
I'll see you again as the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill

You run like a river to the sea
Yeah we run like a river to the sea, yeah

And when it's raining, raining hard
That's when the rain will break my heart

Ah-ya-ya-ya, ya-da-ya

No, no, oh, raining (?)
No-no-no-no
(No)

Pick it up, pick it up
Don’t care
Rivers don’t care
Rivers don’t
Rock’ n’ roll

Like a river to the sea, alright
Like a river to the sea, pick it up
Like a river runs to the sea

Oh great ocean
Oh great sea, yeah
We run to the ocean
(Run to the sea)

God Part II
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up

Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I, I believe in love

Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape

Don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe an Uzi
Just went off in my hand
I, still I believe in love

Yeah
Watch the wheel spin and turn
Give it up

Yeah, rock ‘n roll

Don’t' believe in cocaine
I got a speedball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Did you hear what I said

I don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
Still I, well I believe in love
Love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Oh, yeah
Big deal

I don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get ‘em
If I don't get him first

I don't believe that rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
Spiral and turns
Still I, I believe in love
Round and round

Don't believe in the '60s
Golden age of pop
You glorify the past
The future dries up

Singer on radio
Late last night
He's gonna kick the darkness
Till it bleeds daylight
I, still I believe in love
Love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love
I believe
Know what I’m saying?
No you don’t
I do
Stop it!

Desire
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

C’mon now
Greed is good
Yeah
Know what I’m saying?
Gimme now

Lover, I'm off the streets
I’m gonna go where bright lights, big city meet
With my red guitar, sometimes vanilla
Desire

She is a candle burning in my room
I'm like a needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon yo, everybody got one

And the fever is getting higher
Desire
Desire
Guitar

And the fever when I’m beside her
Desire
Desire
Burning, I’m burning baby
Shittar

It’s alright

She is the dollars, she’s my protection
She is a promise in the year of election
Oh sister, I can’t let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show

For love or money
More money
Give me your money, mo money, mo money
Money, more money, more money
And the fever getting higher
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

Woo
Alright

All Along The Watchtower
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

Rock n’ roll, that’s all folks
Whatever

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
I can't get no relief

Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them know along the line
What any of this is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many among us here
Who don’t even get the joke

You and I been through that
And that is not our fate
Let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late, late, yeah

All along the watchtower
The princes kept the view
While the horseman came and went
And the barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders approaching
And the wind begins to howl…

Oh-oh-ah….oh-oh-hah-hah-hah
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh

A rider comes keeps me in
Barred to the closed door
Drive her to the bin (?)
Mansonville, Mansonville
To die, to sing…restore, add more
Gone, gone

All I Want Is You
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot

You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave

Bad
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
All night long

If I could throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
To see you walk, walk away
Into the light
Through the day

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart astray
See you break, break away
Into the night
Through the day
Into the half-light
Through the flame
 
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 
To let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away
To let it go, uh-huh
And so fade, fade
Fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no
I’m not sleeping
Oh-oh-oh-oh

If they should ask well maybe
They'd tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desperation
Separation
In temptation
Isolation
Revelation

Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away-hah
Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade, fade

Fade away
Fade away
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away
Oh-oh
Run and take a chance
Run and take a chance
With a little soul
We need a soul
Run and take a chance
But it’s bitter for you, bitter for you
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love

I’m wide awake, oop
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
I’m not sleeping
We’re wide awake

Let it go, uh-huh
And so (fade away)
To let it go, uh-huh
And so (fade away)
To let it go, uh-huh
And so (fade away)

Thank you, thank you very much

Van Diemen’s Land
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01
Sung by The Edge

Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's Land

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But the day will come in the dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's Land
For to face Van Diemen’s Land

Thank you

Bullet The Blue Sky
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
I see ‘em driving nails into the souls in the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
I see the face of fear running scared in the valley below

Sky
  / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky

In a locust wind, comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel, the angel was overcome
Ya plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See ‘em burning crosses, see the flames higher and higher

Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky

11 O’clock…tick…

See this guy comes up to me, yeah
See this rock ‘n roll star comes up to me
His face red like the rose on a thornbush
Like all the colors in a royal flush
And he’s peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down…
One hundred…two hundred…make it…three hundred?
No I changed my mind
Two hundred…no, no, one hundred
Deutschmark…yen
A dime a pen a penny a pound
A penny a pound, a penny a pound
Money makes the world go round, world go round

Not my world, mister
I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador
Crossing the mud huts, crossing the mud huts
Where children sleep
Through the alleys of the quiet city streets
Take a staircase, take a staircase, open a door
A man in a saxophone screams
Open a door, open a door
Outside it’s America, outside it’s America

Yeah, not tonight it’s not…no way

Yeah…not tonight…
Tonight…it’s the USSR
Germany east and west
Italy, Yugoslavia, Rumania
And God knows where else they’ve got their tape recorders turned on
Well, Happy Christmas from U2 to you
This is Dublin City this is where we come from

Still we run and we run
Into the arms…of America

Running To Stand Still
Dublin, Ireland
The Point Depot
1990-01-01

Gotta lotta people travel  from a lotta places to come and see us tonight
Gotta lotta people sitting in their cars outside tuning in tonight
Sitting in their cars in Belfast and Glasgow…in Liverpool and Manchester…in Bristol and London
Well tonight we’re making you all Irish, yeah
This is a Dublin story 

And so she woke up
She woke up from where she was lying still
Said I, I got to do something about where I’m going
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain
Maybe, run from the darkness in the night

Singing ha, ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day, ha la la de day, mm-hmm

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers but I only see one way out
You gotta cry without weeping, sulk without speaking
And scream without raising your voice
You know I took poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here

Singing ha, ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day,  ha la la de day
Ha la la de day, yeah

She runs through the streets with her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
Into a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearl stolen from the sea

She is raging, she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eye
She will suffer the needle chill
She’s running to stand… still

I’m still running, (still running)
I’m still running, (still running)
I’m still running, (still running)
Still running, (still running)
 ? again

I left my love by the gasworks wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my love by the factory gate
Dirty old town, (dirty old town)

New day coming around
New day coming around
New Year’s Day
Oh yeah

Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year’s Day

I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers say it’s true

Say it's true it’s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I, I will begin again / I…I
I, I will begin again / I…I

Yeah-oh
Alright

Edge, what do you think?

I will be with you again / I…I

With B.B. King's orchestra

What I want, I want to throw a party
Now all the best parties have BB King’s orchestra
Yo over there, here will go, Boogaloo, on trumpet
Mel, Walter King, James Tony on piano
On guitar, the Angel of Harlem

(Only joking)

Cold and wet December day
We touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an Angel

New York like a Christmas tree
It’s Dublin City that belongs to me
Angel

Soul love, mmm
Well this love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem

Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a symphony
Got John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
Miles and she’s got to be an angel
Oh-oh

Lady Day got bloodshot eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel

Soul love
Well this love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem

Wo-ho-ho, ho-oh-oh-oh
Wo-ho-oh she’s heart and…
Alright, hey-yeah
Alright now baby stick around

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting

Blinded, you lost your why
In the side streets and the alley way
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight

Angel in her devil shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an Angel
Yeah, yeah, Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

Sing for me
Angel, Angel of Harlem
Everyone
Angel, Angel of Harlem
Everybody sing
Angel, Angel of Harlem

Thank you, Angel of Harlem

Mr. B.B. King

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me
A prizefighter I could turn on a thread, now
I stand accused of the things I’ve said

When love come to town I’m gonna jump that train
Love come to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town


I used to make love until the red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of a wedding gown
I left her standing before (love came to town)

I ran into a juke joint, I heard the guitar scream
Notes were turning blue, I fell into a dream
B.B. King played guitar, my life had turned around
That was the day (when love came to town)

When love come to town I’m gonna jump that train
When love come to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier threw his sword
I rattled the dice when they pierced his side
I’ve seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to town I’m gonna jump that train
Love comes to town I’m gonna catch that flame

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

Hold it up
B.B. King
B.B, he might have invented the blues
But B.B. King, he also got a cure for the blues

My cure for the blues in the 1990’s?
It’s love
Enough love to make you want to go out and help somebody
Do you have enough love to wanna go out and help somebody?
Do you have enough love to not wanna hurt anybody?
Then we spell it…
L…O…V…E


When love comes to town I’m gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

But I did what I did before love came to town
Love…ah

Oh no he isn’t…that was a joke

U2 with B.B. King, his orchestra and singers

[Bono=Normal; B.B. King=Italics; Together=Bold]

What’s next, Reggie?

Well, it’s time to go
Lemme see…
Seems there’s a lot of people out there like to see rock ‘n roll get back in its box, you know?
It’s only entertainment, man, is it?
Anyway over the last ten years, one of the things I feel most proudest of is that U2 got a chance to work with Amnesty International
Like to dedicate this song to those who work for Amnesty International and to those who depend on Amnesty International

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don’t let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
Well they ask me to reveal
The very thoughts that they would conceal
Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I’m hanging by my thumbs
I’m ready for ever crumbs
Love rescue me

Conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand in the entrance of a new world I can see
Ruins to the right of me
Will soon lose sight of me
Love rescue me


And the (saw)? who I walk
Through the valley of the shadow
Yeah, I will fear no evil
I‘ve cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me


Rescue me
Sing sha-la-la

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

Good night
Jesus…is here

I said love
We're on the mountainside of love
Love
Oh my love up here
Yeah I’m here without a name
In the palace, in my shame
Love rescue me

Rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me, yeah
Rescue me
Rescue me
Oh my
Well I’m here without a name
In the palace…my shame
Love
Rescue
Me

Good night
Thank you very much

I waited patiently on the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He lift me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay

I will sin, sing a new song
I will sin, sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long… to sing this song

You set my… on a rock
You made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear

I will sin, sing a new song
I will sin, sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long… to sing this song

Yeah, thank you for coming
I’d like to thank, ah
Edge and Adam and Larry for letting me be in their band

All praises, yeah
Hallelujah, mmm
Hallelujah, hey-yeah
Hallelujah, oh-oh-oh
Love, love

Don’t discount it
In the street
Love is strong
Yeah, how long, how long
How long, how long
Good night
